Mercury Retrograde is here again for it’s third and last visit this year. Mercury is the planet that seems to have the biggest effect on people and when it turns retrograde, even those that don’t believe in astrology find it difficult to deny it’s powerful influences. The most noticeable problems will occur in communication, technology, and travel plans.

Each Mercury retrograde has a certain character based on the sign that Mercury is in when it goes retrograde. This retrograde is in the sign of Libra. 

Normally when Mercury is in Libra, communications between people are likely to be social, charming and diplomatic, leading to win-win negotiations. But since Mercury in Libra will be retrograde, we are likely to see more than usual disagreements between lovers, bad news about the economy that shakes up the stock market, and relationships of all kinds will be strained.

Recently I was asked to teach meditation to a group of underprivileged middle school kids in El Paso, Texas who are in the chess club.

The chess club team was going to the Texas State chess championship and they were intimidated by other chess teams. I taught them mindful meditation which helped them separate a given experience from an associated emotion which helped them to focus their awareness on the present moment.

Listen to the replay as I teach them the techniques that can help to curb kids’ impulsivity, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. The chess club ended up winning state and are headed to nationals!
